‘Abandoned’ motorcycle found on PIE with rider nowhere in sight
On Wednesday (29 Nov), TikTok user @hidayattnordin shared a video of the incident.
@hidayattnordin An early morning experience with @agentaerulsri controlling the traffic from the middle of the highway on a bend was super scary, with alot of speeding drivers, all simply inconsiderate. fortunately for us, we are safe. And several good drivers were also around to help manoeuvre the traffic from such a dangerous situation, “an abandoned motorcycle” in the middle of a highway. Unfortunately, the rider of the motorcycle was eventually found unconscious after 30minutes plus of searching. RIP. Stay safe Everyone! Drive and ride safe!
The video starts off with a shot of the motorcycle lying in the middle of an unspecified highway in Singapore.
According to the caption, there was “no rider around”.

Speaking to MS News, the OP, Hidayat Nordin, shared that he and a friend spotted the motorcycle at 2.30am on the PIE after the exit at Bedok North towards Changi.
His friend was driving while Mr Hidayat was a passenger in the car.
There was a group of people attempting to move the vehicle. After a while, though, they vacated the area.
This left Mr Hidayat, his friend, and another motorist to direct traffic while searching for the missing rider.
Mr Hidayat added that his friend called the police at 2.33am regarding the incident.
Another driver and passenger eventually stopped to help them out, with an off-duty traffic police officer also assisting with the search.
